Choosing a Connection Method
Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer via Ethernet, USB, or parallel. A USB or a parallel connection is a direct
connection and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking.
Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and
hardware are generally not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. This
section includes:
■Connecting via Ethernet and USB on page 4-3
■Connecting via Ethernet on page 4-3
■Connecting via USB on page 4-4
■Connecting via Parallel on page 4-5
Connecting via Ethernet and USB
You can connect your Phaser 6180MFP printer through Ethernet, USB, or both at the same
time. The available features for each connection type are shown in the following table.
Connection TypeAvailable Features
USBWhen connected via USB you can:
■ Scan an image into an application.
■ Scan an image to a folder on the computer.
■ Use the Address Book Editor to manage address book entries.
EthernetWhen connected via Ethernet you can:
■ Scan to a computer on the network.
■ Scan to an FTP server.
■ Scan to email.
■ Use CentreWare IS to manage address book entries.
For information on each connection type, see Connecting via Ethernet on page 4-3 and
Connecting via USB on page 4-4.
Connecting via Ethernet
Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an
Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB
connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS). The
CentreWare IS web interface enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked
printers from your desktop.
Phaser® 6180MFP Multifunction Printer
4-3
Choosing a Connection Method
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for
Ethernet.
■If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL
router, two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for
each device.)
If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub
with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any
port on the hub except the uplink port.

Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. A USB
connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection but is faster than using parallel. To use
USB, PC users must have Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or newer
operating system. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.2 and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your
printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable for
your connection (2.0 for best results).
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

Choosing a Connection Method
Connecting via Parallel
A parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of
connection provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high
density parallel printer cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density
1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the parallel
cable to the printer and the computer while they are both Off, and then turn them On. Install
the printer driver from the Software and Documentation CD-ROM, and select the appropriate
LPT parallel port.

■Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-6
■Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-7
■Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 4-8
TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate
TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to
your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s
Internet Protocol (IP) address.
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is
important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be
different. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has
the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to talk to a
networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however,
Bonjour does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use
a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Automatically Setting the Printer’sIP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use
the installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to
your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into
your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the Xerox Installer launches, follow the prompts for
installation.
Note: For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established
TCP/IP network.

Configuring the Network Address
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
■DHCP (enabled by default on all Phaser printers)
■AutoIP
You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off
DHCP.
Note: You can print a report that includes the printer’s IP address. On the control panel, press
the System button, select
then press the OK

Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network.
Contact your network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network
administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP
address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are
in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set
the IP address.

Paper Usage Guidelines
The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other
specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:
■Envelopes and transparencies can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.
■Fan paper, transparencies, or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
■Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
■Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives
with release strips.
■All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.
■Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
■Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of the
paper guide.
■Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. For Trays 2 and 3, the paper guides click into
place when they are adjusted correctly.
■If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Automatic Document Feeder Guidelines
The document feeder accommodates the following original sizes:
■Width: 148 mm – 216 mm (4.1 in. – 8.5 in.)
■Length: 210 mm – 355.6 mm (8.3 in. – 14 in.)
The weight range includes 65 – 120 g/m
Follow these guidelines when loading originals into the document feeder:
■Load originals faceup so that the top of the document enters the printer first.
■Place only loose sheets of paper in the document feeder.
■Adjust the paper guides so that they fit against the originals.
■Insert paper in the document feeder only when the ink on the paper is completely dry.
■Do not load originals above the MAX fill line.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media
can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
■Rough or porous media
■Plastic media other than supported transparencies
■Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
■Paper with staples
■Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
■Padded envelopes
■Non-laser glossy or coated paper
■Perforated media
Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum
print quality.
■Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
■Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than
outside walls where moisture can collect.
■Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
■Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
■Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer.
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream
wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
■Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the
bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic
bags.

Printing Envelopes
Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1 (MPT).
Guidelines
■Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Paper Sizes and Weights table.
Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the
envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
■It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the
envelopes to seal before or during printing.
■Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
■Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of
the envelopes.
■If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made
specifically for laser printers.
Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.
Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty,
service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is
available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please
contact your local representative for details.
